23rd November 2009: Not for Cosplay Ball, but for Minami & May Expo methinks I want to wear my pirate dress at the Ball!!!! And other reasons. See my LJ. So this will have to wait till later. Matt and I will sort this for next year XD
11th October 2009: Collar fail, but everything else is working ^^ Yes, well, I had sewn on the top collar section and it turned out a little short. I think I also should extend the interfacing on the front button sections. So I'll probably need to spend about an hour unpicking, re-cutting and re-sewing. But aside from that, it fits, it looks correct!! And I sorted out this problem before starting on Dietrich's costume! So it's good ^^
I'm just hoping that my vintage German military leather belts arrive in time, given the postal strikes T_T Otherwise, one of use will probably have a overly bling belt substitute. But hey, with Trinity Blood, erring on the side of bling is never a bad thing.
